Why

[ryokan]

8) Dallience came she there
upon a dale so faire
like wind bidden phantasm shore
laughs and twists and implores
a heart too long in urban blight
so fast now so benign human care

Engulfed now surfeit avalanche pleonasm smarm swarm city
Imprisoned in the wanton city
Subsumed soul in the blatent city
Implicate order - sour city
where few care for more but
lust speed blind babble twaddle tattle sextrash more more more implore more drivel
How cool they have been taught
to be, by corporate giants strong,
who care for nothing but the bottom line
Their images fleet taunt us
blind us teach young youth eterne indescinent ceaseless tempore
Why this become nightmare
Once graceful lark dream stark blind catopsis
descendent of a nation in grace
with all its beings apace as one
never a need for the implosive gun
Weeping for the children and
the kin shown gripping holding enfolding grief one another on the news again again again

Sweetness came the air o'er
dunes and grasses wild
Placid the distant sea
Peaceful strong long navemarrow endless sky
Never never ask why
'o why
